Rinus van Alebeek (1956, Heerlen, The Netherlands) is a writer who uses
his (environmental) recordings on tape to narrate a story. During the
nineties he published two books (pseud. Philip Markus) in his native
country. The first novel (De Weg naar Oude God) won the prestigious
Geert Jan Lubberhuizen Prijs, a yearly award for the best first novel.

An accidental encounter with electronic and avant garde music in the
year 2000 at the Lem festival in Barcelona, and an introduction to the
cassette culture gave way to his further artistic development.

In the first decade of this century van Alebeek made a thorough research
on how to make or manipulate recordings. Thanks to a great number of
concerts, sometimes an average of ten in a month, he developed an
approach of which people say it is ‘ between noise and pure poetry.’

“Rinus Van Alebeek is a peculiar observer of reality and an artist who
instinctively transforms lo-fi tape recordings into evocative sound
poems, being able to create a “détachement” towards the used media,
which is a characteristic of the most original artists.” Luis Costa, president of Binaural and Associação Cultural de Nodar,
